back in the early 90's I worked for McDonalds, when they served pizza. They even served 12-inch famly sized pizzas, and they'd make a dozen a day. And serve maybe three.

I worked the late evening shift (til 2am), and when the lobby closed, whoever was left would cook up the leftover family pizzas and take them home. I could've fed whole families for weeks with some of the pizza I brought home.

When these things first came out, I was about 16 and working at McD's in NS. The lobster meat came in large vacuum sealed bags, and looked a lot like what you get for imitation crab meat. Back in those days I wouldn't have eaten lobster if my life depended on it so I never tried one. I can't imagine it's very good. If I want lobster now, I'd just head down to the wharf and buy from the fishermen.

*drool* damn the South, damn it to hell. I'd have to pay three times as much for lobster here, and it's nowhere near as good.

Last year those lobster were $4.69/lb. They averaged about 1.25lbs each. Got a DOZEN lobsters last year for about $70. Won't know what the price is this year until the truck arrives. We go through about 1/2 of them for dinner and clean the rest and make a big batch of lobster salad. effin' awesome. It's a messy evening, but awesome!

WippitGuud:To The Escape Zeppelin!: I won't rest until McDonald's brings back pizza.

ome vile act of sin? The name of that sin is wanton and ungodly greenhouse gas emissions.

Lobsters grow faster in warmer water and there is currently an oversupply. The price that fishermen receive at the wharf has dropped from around $6 a pound to around $3 a pound. Warmer water can have a negative impact on some species, notably salmon and cod, but others such as lobsters, crabs and sea urchins may thrive. Many of these species are being caught much further North. Maryland blue crabs, for example, are being caught in New England in greater numbers, while the same is true of their trans-Atlantic cousins in Scotland.

Lobster used to be dirt cheap in the North East--it was fed to slaves and field workers. The children of lobster fishermen could be distinguished by their lobster sandwiches from the richer kids who had baloney in their lunch. But times change and fashion changes. I have a replica of a very old cookbook (17th century or earlier) with a historical introduction. French and English tastes in such foods as garlic and snails have flip-flopped several times, as have the social status of these foods--at times the aristocrats enjoyed them, at other times they were left to the peasants.

A McDo Lobster roll is still better than no lobster roll at all. It makes a change from pink slime. But don't expect it to be around long if lobster landing prices rise above the cost of fish or meat. On the whole, seafood is expensive in Ontario. The lobsters sold in the stores are either very pricey or very small or both. Fish and chips aren't nearly as plentiful or good as in Nova Scotia or Maine.

That place is right down the road from my sisters house on Sqaum. Been there quite a few times.

/up there all Labor day week with the dogs and kayaks!

Sweet. My in-laws are right next to "Red Hill" at the north tip of the lake (Sandwich bay). We're leaving at 4am tomorrow... it's about a 450 mile trek, so hope to be there around noonish. Can't wait to get my ass in the lake!

My sisters house is on a road very close to the boat put-in and beach on Sandwich Bay. My wife and I take over my sisters house for a week every year. A very beautiful area.

I worked for McDonalds when I was in high school in Nova Scotia. The lobster came in vacuum sealed bags and looked exactly like any other low grade lobster that is destined to be mixed with mayo and served on a roll. In this context low grade means soft shelled lobster sold in pieces. We used to steal bites of it all the time. It was just fine.
